Hi,

I would like to know if I can always pass the export password of the .p12
client certificate to openssl without worrying about the pass phrase that
needs to be set on generating the .p12 file. I looked function

int PKCS12_parse(PKCS12 *p12, const char *pass, EVP_PKEY **pkey, X509
**cert, STACK_OF(X509) **ca)

It seems that it always calls PKCS12_verify_mac() whether pass is NULL or
"" or the export password.

Does that mean the pass phrase is really insignificant for openssl?

One evidence is Android, where only the export password will need to be
entered during the certificate install.

Thanks,
Yichun
